Working Schedule: How May Hours Per Day Should You Work?
by Most people work between seven and nine hours per day. Business executives rarely work less than 12 hours per day. Who’s right?

There seems to be a perfect correlation between the number of hours you work and the success you achieve. By success understand personal, professional and financial success. The engineer leading the Bing search engine works up to 21 hours a day for Microsoft. There are not many men capable of such daily schedule. He days that when you like what you do, you work much longer without getting tired. He just take a little nap of 20 minutes and then he is ready again.
Bill Gates was and still is the richest man alive. How many hours per day did he work? The peak of work I imagine it was about 18 hours a day, but later on he said he would never work more than 12 hours a day because we was going to take it a little easier and for most people this is still too much.
Most people in Portugal work just 8 hours a day and they say it’s too much for them, if they could they would work less then four hours.
In France people work 7 hours a day. It’s the country in Europe where people work the least. So far I have never ever read about someone who made astonishing success working just 8 or 9 hours per day.
If you want true success you must be healthy physically and mentally enough to cross the 15 hour per day working schedule, otherwise you will be just another average Joe.

I like this article. I recently retired so I could write more. It seems like I am working longer hours. But I do enjoy what I am doing. I think the secret is really enjoy what you are doing so that time flys.
